Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises® (TRE®)

TRE is a simple yet highly effective technique that uses exercises to release stress or tension from the body that accumulate from every day circumstances of life, from difficult situations, immediate or prolonged stressful situations, or traumatic life experiences (i.e., natural disasters, sexual abuse, social or domestic violence).

TRE is a set of six exercises that help to release deep tension from the body by evoking a self-controlled muscular shaking process in the body called neurogenic tremors. The uniqueness of this technique is that this shaking originates deep in the core of the body, specifically the psoas muscle. These gentle tremors reverberate outwards along the spine releasing tension from the sacrum to the cranium. The exercises are a simple form of stretching and are used to gently trigger these muscle tremors.

Once the technique is learned and mastered after several sessions, the warm-up exercises can be accelerated or replaced with your normal exercise activity like walking, cycling or practicing yoga. TRE then becomes a quick and effective method for consistent relaxation. Eventually, these tremors will evoke themselves naturally in a resting position to reduce any stress or tension that was accumulated over the course of the day.

TRE is being used by thousands of people around the world as an effective tool for releasing chronic traumatic stress, physical tension and emotional trauma. It is also quickly becoming a popular way to release the everyday stress, tension, and anxiety that comes from the daily pressures of life.

"Not only did I learn and benefit from TRE, I also gained insights into important aspects of my self and how I can make positive changes to continue improving my health – physically and mentally.” -Michael F
